Probably will take it to someone to have it sharpened. **Q: Would I be able to resaw 8" wide board that's 1" thick into smaller slices? Like 1/4" thick, I'm wondering if a frame saw would be better?** A: Frame saw yes a good band saw even better. the crosscut saw has a very wide kerf compared to the other two and I only use mine for timbers. **Q: Please let me know if you sell the supplementary handle for this saw** A: As a user, I don't think this saw has the availability for the supplemental upright handle. It is made of a distressingly soft steel and I don't think it has the rigidity required for the uprght supplementary handle. The steel is so supple and "soft" that I fear should the blade ever bind really hard, the saw would probably buckle. or fold. Sawing a thick trunk section, say 24" in diameter or greater, takes great care to keep the cut straight and cannot be done quickly, whereas limbs of around 12" in diameter of less are quick and easy without requiring great care in aligning the cut initially. **Q: Are the teeth already set and sharpened?** A: Yes they are. Awesome saw! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC CROSSCUT SAW *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2012* Tired of chainsaw noise? Need exercise? Want to try classic tools?Regardless of what your reason for buying a crosscut saw is, you'll love this one.The saw comes sharpened and is ready to use out of the wrapping. I've used it on 18 inch diameter trunks without any issues at all. Obviously the bigger the wood you're cutting is the longer it will take you.I've made over 40 cuts with the saw and it works beautifully. Remember to go nice and steady or you'll tire very quickly. You don't need to be a powerhouse to use this saw, and i would recommend it for most people. Be aware that the teeth are very large, so this saw won't work on very small branches - you're using the wrong tool in that case. It'll rip right through anything the size of your wrist or larger.Use some canola oil when the blade gets too hot. Switch sides if it starts to bind a little, as the teeth seem to open the kerf on the opposite side when you use this technique. I'm right handed, and I use my right hand in the handle, followed by my left thumb in the handle in front of the fingers of my right hand and then I wrap my left fingers on the top of the saw. This enables two hand push control and allows my left hand to put a little pressure downwards on the saw to help cut deeper grooves.Great price. Fantastic tool.I can't recommend this saw enough. 5 STARS! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great saw - requires lots of time, smaller logs, & elbow grease *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013* Well made, but not a chain saw replacing miracle.Pros --Great teeth and construction.-Curve of blade more noticeable in person (see pictures)-Very solid.-Does its job well - any bow saw I have used couldn't touch the performance.Cons --Handle is too fat, doesn't feel right. (bad for long work sessions. Which is the m.o. here)(takes basic skills to shape it the way you want.)-A neat way to experience the world's elation at the creation of chainsaws. (not efficient. I think a lot of people get this because they hate the noise/smell of chainsaws - I did. This saw will teach you to love chainsaws.)-Blade corners are sharp (no biggee! My point is that it's not a Ferrari. More like a high-end Chevy.)I was noticeably excited when the saw arrived - the wait was over, and now it would just be me, the wood, the saw, the silence, and the work of my arms. I have a small need to process logs, I hate chainsaws, and I got a hundred bucks for my birthday. I got it in a long, very flat box - wrapped around an inner flat box. No frills, just saw (and a request to support the USO this Christmas). It came in 8 days. My first impression was that this was a very BIG hand saw. Then that the teeth were quite sharp, had a nicely adjusted kerf (see pictures), and were obviously individually sharpened from the shoulder to the fine point. (I don't see why sharpening this saw would be any harder than sharpening the carpentry cross-cuts of yesteryear. Haven't tried it though.) My next impression was that the saw it heavier than I thought - the package weighs very little in both hands, but in one hand there is definitely heft there. (Great for heavy packing, I'd say.) Next I noticed how fat the handle is (see pictures). Call me a stickler for ergonomics - but it is a HAND saw. The handle is too fat at the bottom and my pinky isn't able to help very much, and it's fat at the top too. I immediately took it out for a test run. Unknown wood, fairly soft, pretty dry, 12'' diameter. Definitely on the big side for this saw. Not because the saw isn't long enough - no problem. Not because the saw isn't sharp enough or designed poorly - it's sharp and does quick work. 12'' is big just because of how much time and effort it takes - I quickly realized I had committed the fallacy "I'm spending a lot of money, so this wood is just going to melt in front of me." I thought I'd bought a chainsaw-replacement miracle. No, I'd bought a ticket to relate with my ancestors - a first class ticket, though. After about 5-7 minutes and 275-375 strokes, I had made a very straight, very clean cut. The saw was like new, and I wasn't. I had to switch arms pretty often, and my hand hurt using the handle - I would spend most of my time with my hand over the rounded top. I had maybe 3 or 4 more cuts left in me. Guys - the people saying this takes a lot of work aren't wimps - I'm not a wimp, I've processed wood all my life, I have big hands, and that pile looked daunting after that cut. 6-8'' stuff would pose much less of a problem - and that's what this saw is really meant for. But that still won't make it a miracle chainsaw-replacement. Just know what you're getting into. I have a need for infrequent processing of 10-12'' logs, and I don't think the saw and I are a good fit. I figured out that you need to let the saw do the cutting and not press in much - it's worth the extra strokes to save the energy. If you don't have/don't like chainsaws, This saw is worth it if you have TIME and SMALL logs. It does not take immense strength, just endurance: you can take a break. The handle can be modified pretty easily: better too much material than too little for mod'ing. Saw tip wobbles pretty harshly as you draw back from a full extension - my bad technique? Without a small right/left tilt, the saw will bounce/vibrate on push and pull on the surface of the cut - my bad technique? I didn't use lubricant. (I felt no sticking, no jamming. Good kerf) Just for fun: I tried a rip cut on the end of the log. Not even funny (see picture). ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Might be a great saw if it was sharpened from the factory *by K***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2017* Might be a great saw if it was sharpened from the factory. As I received it not so much. I have investigated how to sharpen these. Probably I can just get a file and do a yoemans job but a truly pro grade sharpening isn't that simple. So this thing just sets around worthless until I have much more free time than I do now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1853009-one-man-crosscut-saw](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1853009-one-man-crosscut-saw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
